History:
The Bell AH-1W Super Cobra served as the primary attack helicopter of the United States Marine Corps from the mid-1980s until its replacement by the AH-1Z Viper. Derived from the earlier AH-1 Cobra, the AH-1W featured twin engines, upgraded firepower, and enhanced survivability. The NTS (Night Targeting System) update introduced advanced sensors, thermal imaging, and precision targeting capability, significantly improving its effectiveness in both day and night operations. The Super Cobra saw extensive service in the Gulf War, Iraq, and Afghanistan, providing close air support and anti-armour capability. Its blend of speed, firepower, and agility cemented its reputation as a formidable battlefield asset.
